Top 10 TV Examples of the Mandela Effect 

I was sure that either in the pilot or the first episode of Seinfeld as Jerry walks into his apartment for the first time Pail Reiser was walking out but when I see it in reruns I haven’t seen it. I also thought that the first few times you see “The Fonz” in Happy Days he’s not wearing a leather jacket at all. I haven’t watched any reruns of that show but it’s never mentioned when people speak about him.

At 7:35 Derogatory word for female canine.... You mean that is a derogatory word for a human female. It is the proper term for a female canine.... I'm certain you just made a mistake, but that does make you sound weird....

In Full House originally Stephanie was sick and asked for Water, Dj is with the he guys and one of them gives her a glass of water and she complains it is from the bathroom. Later,- she is given water and she says that yep, it is definitely from The Kitchen. NOW, Stephanie has been replaced by Michelle!

@B Jones In The Betrayal episode of Seinfeld it flashes back to Jerry and Kramer first Meeting. Therefore you are replacing Paul Buckman with Kramer in your memory by combining that scene with the scene in Mad about You we're it is revealed that Paul is giving up his Bachelor Pad to Kramer as a single boet because Jamie Buckman- his wife won't let him keep the apartment! DUH!

*THIS video was the worst Mojo video ever. Especially for this topic. Slight nuances in phraseology or "rare" occurrences of what happen as opposed to never ever happening at all does NOT qualify for the Mandela effect! (whatever a "Mandela" is)*

That's what I was thinking.

Kyle Wiggins Art: exactly!

Most of these don't. A LOT of hair splitting in this video

It counts since it was only a few instances.

@@rra7490 The Mandela effect is a false memory. It was coined when Nelson Mandela died in 2013. Thousands of people remembered seeing on the news that he had died in the 1980’s. If it happened only once, it’s not the Mandela effect. A few of these are bad examples.

Same, we still had a black and white set in our home until 1993… we had colour TV’s but we still had the old black and white set

Mine too 🤓

And crappy color TV's too. Believe it or not, we didn't just throw out our electronics back then. We used that stuff for 20 or 30 years. The tubes would age and the colors would slowly shift, and we wouldn't even notice for long amounts of time. Then when something actually did stop working, we would take it to a repair shop and have it fixed. I know that's a strange concept in the throw-away society of today.

Your dad still has a 8 track player in his car too

@Nick Varville, you nailed it on the head! Many people in the 1970s still had B&W TVs in their homes, so what else could they assume BUT Fonzie having a leather jacket in BLACK. Once people bought Color TVs (usually in response to Cable TV coming into their area -- which was as late as the early 1990s), they finally saw the brown leather jacket in old reruns.

I love it when a memory comes together.

I said the exact same thing as they were showing that part. Not a Mandela effect at all. Just a matter of mixing up what character said the line.

@@NightMan77 You have just summed up what the Mandella effect is. Mis-remembering and troll videos of photoshopped images. There never was a cereal named Fruit Loops. That is from a photoshop troll video creating the confusion on purpose. 99.99% of the ME is a fraud.

He never say it in Rocky, so that makes no sense. He mostly said it in commercials!

@@MrParkerman6 Yes, he did. The scene where he was getting interviewed

Ya I agree

Bullshit list

I was thinking the same thing.

Agreed, am I am old enough to to remember watching the Lone Ranger on a Black and white tv. Plus Fonzie jacket at the beginning of the show wasn’t a leather jacket either. ✌️

@@iriejane3099 I used to have an old Lone Ranger board game and it in fact said "Hi Yo Silver" on the box. so thats one atleast the video got right

Also, many people still didn't have color TVs yet (maybe not a majority, but a pretty sizable minority, color TVs were expensive).

I'm surprised they didn't even mention his windbreaker he wore part of the time in the first season.

@@big8dog887 I remember when I was young (1985ish) we got a 20 inch TV, which with inflation would have cost around $1200. Now you can get a 65 inch 4K TV for that kind of money.

@@maurer3d I love watching Price is Right reruns and seeing how the cars were cheap and the home electronics were super expensive. As a kid in the 70s-early 80s, we had a black and white tv, it was a treat to visit the grandparents, they had color.

@@maurer3d Got our first colour TV in 1978. Seeing the Incredible Hulk being green has stayed with me since!

I am sure many did back then.

I don't remember seeing judge judy use a gavel She always banged her hand on the desk

I think it’s a Mandela effect because they don’t do it all the time, yet people think they did.

It’s also derogatory to male persons. They usually have even bigger reactions

In a recent research project that i have completed on this topic it was concluded that a slight majority of female canines also did not feel comfortable with the use of this word.

Surprised you didn't say it was literally a fact.

Haha

I remember it being called the MandELa effect. Weird.

Can't wait for: "South Park never actually said "They killed Kenny!"

Okay. I'll admit the the two examples I had above we're pretty much the only examples through the rest of it. The rest of the ones do qualify. :-)

@@jeffrconner they are still fine examples my man.

The Judge Judy is kinda a Mandela effect in that the gavel was extensively used in The People's Court and people's memories have incorrectly associated it with Judge Judy.

They didn't even mention poor Lambchop😂🤷🏼‍♂️

Mr. T doesn't qualify, as it was HIS catchphrase

He always said "Beam me up Scotty" or. "Two to beam up"!

Yes, its not Desi Arnez. Its Eddie Murphy *doing* Desi Arnez.

It was Billy Crystal that played Ricky and said 'splainin'. You people can't even remember the correct ethnicty. SHeesh! Eddie played Mr. Robinson's Hood a satire of Mister Rogers' Neighborhood.

@@billkeithchannel That was Fernando Lamas(?) And it was fa sure Eddie Murphy in "Delirious".

I remember Will Smith used it on Fresh Prince once too when Carlton signed his name on something as Ricky Ricardo

Matthew Perry said it in Fools Rush In.

It was used by Eddie Murphy in his stand-up. The one phrase I always heard about Cary Grant was, "Judy, Judy, Judy" but I don't know where it came from and I have since learned he never used it.

It was from Billy Crystal's SNL reoccurring skit of Ricky Ricardo. He is the one that started using 'splainin' since it was much funnier sounding.

No no no no. Having seen every episode at least 5x, he would say "splainin" and she would mock his bad English bad back at him by repeating it incorrectly but he never said "Lucy, you got some splainin' to do," as a catch phrase...unless it happened ONCE in one episode that way. But not multiple times.

My sister and myself remember it as well! But get this, she remembers his name as "Arnaz" and I firmly remember "Arnez" I never saw Arnaz until about 2015 or 16!

Henry Winkler, in an interview, mentioned he originally modeled Fonzi on one of his Lords of Flatbush costars - Sylvester Stallone.

In the early seasons the network refused to let Winkler in a leather jacket because they thought was too youth gang leader, hence the windbreakers. Marshall said he needed a leather jacket for motorcycle riding safety and thats why in early seasons of his leather jacket they make excuses for his bike to be in the shot.

Pretty sure Jesse did the same with his catchphrase, he said it outside the show I believe

The Windbreakers he wore were light gray or blue.

Fonzie's jacket in the first two seasons was a blue jacket unless he was on his motorcycle. This changed when the show went from film to live audience.

No way. Happy Days aired on ABC from 1974-1984. By that time the majority of Americans had color televisions in their homes.

@@edwardcricchio6106 No Way you say ???? Edward Let me enlighten you to a few things 1. The entire world is not comprised of "AMERICA" ok. Believe it or not we have other continents Asia, Africa, Europe, Australia There is life outside of the united states 2. Now Let's discuss those life forms for a second. Me, I personally had Black and White TV and it wasn't until 1976 (in Sydney) that we got Technicolor (Colour TV) Now you also need to understand that not everyone was rich enough to actually buy a colour TV at the time it's sort of like Buying a 4K TV when everyone is buying HD TV's so you see , even though things were being aired in Technicolour , You would still watch it in Black and White 3. Things happen at different points in time around the world, an example would be a new movie release so again...... the world is not America and shit does actually happen at different points in time around the world and it is even possible today for a person to own a black and white TV and be watching todays HD TV in Black and White I KNOW THIS TO BE A FACT BECAUSE I'M IN THE TELECOMMUNICATIONS INDUSTRY AND I'M AN INDUSTRY PROFESSIONAL and as such it is also completely possible for a person to have been watching black and white TV since 1970 and to this day , Granted they would be likely in their 60s but hey it's totally possible and therefore this person would not know the true colour of Fonzie's jacket so don't be too quick to say NO WAY Because the world is bigger than America and sometimes things drag on i mean, i still know people that use Windows XP Hell i know a few businesses that still use MS DOS You need to expand your mind a bit and consider possibilities beyond what you think is real

@@martinkuliza USA, USA!

@@edwardcricchio6106 yeah that's about what i expected next you'll start singing , Livin in America or Born in the U.S.A.

@@martinkuliza First of all sir, the American Broadcasting Co. aired this television sit-com in the 1970s. It was filmed in color and was shown in color across the States. By that time, the majority of the people living in the United States, not the rest of the world, had access to color television. I'm sorry if I offended those of you who didn't live in the US then or now. Your comments were unnecessary because they were not directed at you or any other person who wasn't living in the US.

He wore that in season 1

You don’t « gavel » someone.. perhaps you should learn grammar before you correct someone?

@@judethaddeus9856 Do you know what "vernacular" means? It means using a noun as a verb to abbreviate an event! "Gaveling the defendant" was an expression used quite often in the early days of television courtroom dramas!

@@judethaddeus9856 Perhaps you should research TV pop culture before you come off looking like a Sheldon.

i pitty the fool was main phrase in the a team coming from mr t.... he got it in 1982 in rocky but it went into the later years of the a team too, without it mr t is nothing... ofc it was in ateam, just not in your sad timeline

Exactly. That's like saying that someone isn't a killer, although they did kill someone at one time.

So they did actually happen

Right!!

@@livewireOrourke it's like saying "you may think X is a serial killer, but they're actually not because they only killed TWO people and Webster's defines a serial killer as someone who kills 3 or more"" Like, okay, but this doesn't change anything. Definitely doesn't make me think I'm in a parallel universe

Because it's Mojo, and their videos never really deliver on what you expect from the title.

She was probably compensating for the loss of her oldest child, Richie's older brother. He appeared in some episodes in season one, the n he was just gone.

Heather O'Rourke would disagree.

Same here!

Hmmmph… YES!!!!

You mean the mandela effect

Why's it called that 🤔

That’s exactly it. Misheard and/or misremembered. A great example is the Berenstain Bears: Berenstain is an extremely uncommon name. Berenstein makes much more sense and the brain just makes sure that that’s how it’s remembered. Then, when the actual spelling is pointed out, all of sudden you’ve somehow portaled to a parallel universe.

Something's catchy so we change it to how it should of been independent of it's final product-- Mandela effect

Fonzie's jacket in the first two seasons was a blue jacket unless he was on his motorcycle. This changed when the show went from film to live audience.

@@billkeithchannel Yep, a light blue windbreaker

How about Chuck Cunningham??

@@dennismokry258 that was was budget and no room for him in the script. 😉 I remember hearing Mandela dieing in prison from Kurt Loader on MTV News and I've run into people that remember hearing it on the news too.

I remember the chief of police in national television saying, quite shook up, that he had given the Weiner laptop to the FBI. He said, (paraphrased, as I don't remember exact wording), that there were videos on it concerning children that were so terrible that he could hardly watch them. He said that if the FBI didn't do something about them that the NYPD would. Then we never heard about them again, like it never took place.

I'm sure Mandela died in prison too it wasn't until he died again I was like wtf he has already died.....

TPTB thought he’d look like a hoodlum in a leather jacket, so he could only wear it when he was working on or standing by his bike. So many times the Fonz was beside or on the bike in the beginning! 🤣

Do you think that's where the dash from KitKat went? 😲

@@zanussidish8144 Or the dash from Walmart

@@laurafranich4807 Or the dash from ice cream. Let's keep making this up Laura. Where's the dash from Easter egg. Your go from your pretend existence... 👍

That's my recollection is well, but like that Fonz's jacket appearing to be black we misheard it due to the poor quality of the TV sets we watched it on.

@@mikecarr4178 nope.. Always knew the jacket was dark brown. I didn't mishear a dam thing... It's THE NEIGHBORHOOD

I agree It's the neighborhood

Yeah, that's like finding out that the real lyrics to Sesame Street are "Can you tell me how to go, how to go to Sesame Street" We all sang it a million times, and know the lyrics are "get to Sesame Street". Those songs were ingrained in our developing little brains for years!!

I remember it being "the neighborhood"

That's exactly how I remember it being spelled💯 I remember being confused on how to pronounce it😂 there was no a

There was always an "a". It has always been the Berenstain Bears.

@@jimmyparris9892 not in my world there wasn't💯

When I was little, it was "berenstein"

Never wore a deerstalker either until later films.

@@LionsDenAudioTheatre Not quite. The texts of the Sherlock Holmes stories never specifically mention a deerstalker cap or an Inverness cape coat, but Holmes sometimes wore a "close-fitting cloth cap" and wore an "ankle-length cape coat." Sidney Paget, the original illustrator of the stories, illustrated those articles of dress (only when mentioned) as a deerstalker cap and an Inverness cape coat. As for Sherlock Holmes's pipes, he used three: cherry wood, briar, and an "oily clay pipe," all of which Paget illustrated as having straight stems. The calabash pipe originated with American stage actor William Gillette, who thought that a curved-stemmed pipe made it easier to deliver his lines with a pipe in his mouth.

I think Saturday Night Live. He also did a Mr. Rogers parody and Buckwheat.

@@jimmyparris9892 His impression of Buckwheat is also where we get "Oh-tay" from. Which of course Buckwheat never said.

'splainin' was Billy Crystal on SNL in the 90's.

I remember it that way too, because that's the way that Eddie Murphy sang it on Saturday Night Live. I never watched Mr. Rogers. In my dimension he was called Captain Kangaroo.

@@jimmyparris9892 there was a captain Kangaroo at the same time but most don't remember. I will put a work order in to wipe this from your memory today.

@@clevc112 Haha. Awesome. Thank You.🤣

@@clevc112 Well you know my name is Simon, and the things I draw come true, and the pictures take me, take me climbing over the garden wall with you. if the lessons we were taught in school would have been in song format, I might remember some of it today.

That's not a Mandela effect though

I still laugh at that when I watch it. Like some kind of "dad joke"

Didn't say it was, but technically it was an official Batman production that did say the "Batman" at the end of the phrase

@@PrinceTrexus Yes, you're right. And it's an example of how a big budget movie, gave a shout out to the old T.V. show, and perpetuated the myth. They knew exactly what they were doing, and that's what made it funny.

Yup, tha scene cracks me up everytime, given how different the 2 styles are and the time between.

Or 10 lazily researched examples of the Mandela effect.

Hahaha... good one!

I swore Vader said, "no, I'm your daddy." imagine my embarrassment.

except isn’t it No, I am your father which it totally different anyhow

@@AKayfabe Yeah, that is why I used it as an example, the best example.

How do you explain the hundreds of Human Anatomy, historical event, Famous art work, World Geography and KJV bible Mandela Effects?

@@MoneyBags73 I already have

He's a creep. Look up Heather O'Rourke.

I think Fonzies jacket in the first episode was Grey denim

Excellent point, and I was thinking the same thing. Plus, color TVs weren't ubiquitous in the early 1970s when this series debuted.

Speak for yourself. I was a Broadcast Engineer, and our color TV had an excellent picture. Especially, after I installed a top of the line CRT into it. in the early '70s. I still have that set, and it had a great image until the day that TV went digital. Many people bought the cheapest TVs they could find, so many color TVs had low quality CRTS. They were typically the 23 EGP22 which was crap. About 10% bought the best that they could find. which often contained a 'Black Matrix' CRT with newly developed color phosphers.

@@indiansfaninpa Round screen RCA designed color TVs were available, starting in the '50s. Motorola introduced the first solid state color TV in the mid '60s, under the Quasar name. My family bought one of the first to hit our town. It had a tube for the high voltage, and the picture tube, but everything else was transistors. Once a solid sate HV rectifier hit the market, Motorola witched ti those.

@@michaelterrell I didn't say color TVs weren't available in the early '70s. My point was, they weren't in every home, and even households that had a color TV didn't have one in every room.

@@indiansfaninpa Who needed them in every room? From the time that I turned 13, I always had a TV of my own. I orked in a TV shop, so at times I had over 50 of them in our detached garage.

I never watched Mr. Rogers, so, if I were to claim the Mandela Effect, I would have to say that, in the dimension I'm from, he was Captain Kangaroo.

I loved that show!

Yep. Billy Crystal coined 'splainin' in his SNL skits.

Or, we adjusted the tv so that it looked black. Remember, we didn't have to navigate through any menus back then. We just walked over, flipped open the panel, and turned the little knobs. I think our tv had 3 or 4. Color, Contrast, Brightness, and Hue. And, since we all thought that Fonzie's jacket was black...

And, when we got a color television, we would start adjusting it to make his jacket black.

Remember Twilight zone, "they" have control of your tv and your internet and all digital information, if you dont have "originals" or pics proof of these things you remember, its gaslighting to make you question your own sanity, seeing if you know your truth or buy their crazy.

I know It's ridiculous

I think it was Victor Lewis Smith who made it up.

Just like Captain Kirk's shirt was always green and not gold on Star Trek TOS on the 1960's.

you are correct, most of the people here have no clue they are too young, this timeline does not have him saying this in the series but the quality one does, the phrase came in 1982 right before ateam aired during rocky 3 and was used in the ateam too for years later, do not interact too much with this timeline individuals, i know you have no choice but it is different kind to yours, this one is ai dominated, stay safe

Yeah, I'll buy this one as misremembering. Mr. T himself did say it, but I don't think he ever said it in the A Team.

I did not know of that. That’s a good one.

I blame David Brenner. He used to relate that anecdote in his standup act.

yep i thought it was black. i grew up watching black and white tv though.

@@baneblackguard584 Ha! That makes sense. I was at the end of that era, but we did have at least one black-and-white TV during my early years.

You can't use logic here.

I think people mixed up the series Sex AND the City with another 90s series that aired around the same time Caroline IN the City, which ran from 1995-1999 on NBC.

@@radrobd123 yeah. I used to watch Caroline. Good one.

Your childhood is not real

You right, he used that phrase during the America's Toughest Bouncer competition, after smashing through a door to ring the bell. He set a record, and got discovered by a talent agency.

I think I've seen him use it on a tv commercial or something, but that was years later.

the trade mark of ba was i pitty the fool.... it was mr t and he used it also in ateam in the later years....not in your sad timeline but he sure did in the quality one 2016 and prior

I remember Chuck

Family matters, the youngest daughter, Judy, I think, just disappeared from the show and was never mentioned again. It wasn't the Mandela effect, at least not in the real world. But in tv land it very well could have been the Mandela Effect. But the writers of that show "Disappeared" people all the time.

This list was about TV, not movies.

@@Coyotek4 Idk how I missed that. You’re correct. Thank you.

I doubt many people on this channel have heard of the movie nevermind watched it.

@@zanussidish8144 And, if true, it’s a truly sad commentary on one of the greatest movies ever.

Same here?

I watched an episode of Judge Judy yesterday and she used that gavel heavily. It was annoying because, at the time, there were no out burst going on.

​@@danmcclintock1621 i was gonna say the same she is gavel happy half the time and for no reason lol

Didn't Judge Wapner always use his gavel? I think our memories run together, especially when some of the things we remember are between 30 and 60 years ago.

Unsolved mystery 😂 A film in which she doesn't need braces, has nothing to do with the plotline is an unsolved mystery. Oh wait a minute. He's got metal teeth so therefore he'll only be attracted to someone wearing braces. It is a mystery isn't it.

You mean Holly? The character's name was HOLLY Goodhead, not Dolly. And the person who wore "braces" was Jaws played by Richard Kiel. He didn't actually wear braces but he had silver metal teeth.

@@zanussidish8144 you are obviously young and have no clue to what you are talking about simply never been in that timeline, she had braces and big ones...

@@michelleper5065 I'm old enough to accept that there's zero reason for her to have braces. I certainly don't go around citing 'timelines' rather than admitting I'm wrong about something.

@@zanussidish8144 you are not old enough to realize where you are and this is the worst thing, she had braces, and not small ones, they were pretty ugly, you belong in a different timeline i explained already you will never remember them if you were never part of that timeline

They used that routine closing the show, it happened ... I've seen it

Me too.

I guess I should finish the video. I paused it to read and reply to comments. It is "the" not "this". I had the LP as a child that had all the songs on it.

I used to have a Tshirt that said Beam me up Scotty there's no intelligent life down here.

There's actually a book called Beam me up Scotty, a autobiography about the actors life... this effect is real, this trap is comming to it's end.
